I'm intersted in updating my speakers, I currently have the vandersteen 1c as my main speakers, used for audio only. No HT. My amp is a NAD C352, NAD C542 CDP, and NAD tunner. A few years ago, I had purchased the Axiom M3 speakers for a smaller room in the basement, Good speakers, not perfect but then again, there is no perfect speaker.

However, the issue I'm having is I'm very intersted in either the M80 or M60 but difficult to comment since they I have not heard them. I did contact someone in Montreal for an audition, just waiting for them to reply.

My vandersteen are great speakers, but bass shy, also they are 10 years old and been banged up a little, therefore wife asked me to replace them. (green light)

I understand there is a 30 day return offer from Axiom, but since they are large speakers, it makes it a little difficult.

Hmm... faults? Its hard to find faults per se. Some find the M60 light on bass. I could agree, though they are not noticably bad (I did like my music with a sub). I would describe the M80 as very detailed, but some people just don't like this sound.

For starters you could go out and listen to speakers like the Paradigm studio 60 or 100 to get some idea of what the axioms sound like. If you like the studio line, you will like the Axioms.

One more for getting the M80s. The extra detail they have are worth the extra money, if you can't swing the money, then the M60s are a great alternative and they are 8 ohm speakers so they can be driven by pretty much anything out there, while the M80s requre a little more robust amp as they are 4 ohm speakers.

Tony, relating to your comment that you contacted someone in Montreal, but are still waiting for a reply, note that some of the audition listings aren't current in that the person doesn't check the board and won't see a PM if that's what you sent. You could contact Amie or Andrea at Axiom directly to see if they could assist you in setting something up.
